Landscape Design

Brindley’s Landscape Design team provides a comprehensive landscape design, masterplanning and ecology consultancy service to achieve well-designed landscape spaces which incorporate all relevant planning legislation, such as NPF4 and Biodiversity Net Gain enhancements.

We are an integrated landscape design, ecology and landscape assessment consultancy with an established record of providing evidence-based and responsive design solutions to deliver sustainable and high quality environments.

Our team of Landscape Architects are able to deliver robust and practical landscape design advice relevant to your project’s requirements.  Supported by in-house Ecologists and our GIS and Visualisations team, we supply tailor-made solutions regardless of your project’s size or complexity.
